New Event for the World Championship Barbados Cookoff!

I am proud to help announce a new event for this years World Championship Barbados Cookoff and Rodeo. It is the Running Against The Wind 1st Annual Memorial 5K Run/Walk for Bill "Hoss" Lindsey.

Bill was from Rankin and had ranches in Texas and South Dakota. He was a one of a kind individual who touched so many lives with his positive attitude. He always had a smile and always greeted you with a hand shake followed with a hug! It didn't matter who you was cause he treated everyone equally.

There was nothing that he couldn't do or figure out. One of his sayings was "improvise, adapt, and overcome". Another one was "I'm here for a good time, not a long time". No one had any idea he would be taken so soon. He was never sick, never showed signs of ill feelings, ever.

Bill was one of the strongest men known to this town and could work from sun up to sun down, then clean up and head to town to grab a bite to eat or catch a movie with his wife and kids. He was tough, yet gentle. He was offered the chance one time to shoot a jack rabbit on the ranch and his comment was "that rabbit never did anything to me".

On March 25, 2009, Bill died of a missive heart attack at his ranch in South Dakota. He was only 48 years old.

In honor of his memory, Bill's friends and family helped get together the Running Against The Wind 5k Run/Walk to bring awareness to folk's health and to emphasize the need to have regular checkups and not to put it off. If it could happen to Bill, it could happen to anyone.

Live today like there is no tomorrow and if you have someone you want to say I love you to, tell them, don't put it off til tomorrow, for tomorrow may never come.

Just a little about me!

I'm a 37 year old wife and mother recently diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), just trying to keep it all together. I have 2 children who are my pride and joy and, thankfully, don't seem to have ADD. My husband is very supportive and tries his best to help me cope, but there is always room for improvment!
